PLEASE be careful, tell your kids to keep everything up and away from all pets! I have used the Poison Control Hotline more than once and we definitely were grateful to have called. You may incur a fee, but it's worth it to save your pet's life. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING OR LOOK ON GOOGLE. Call immediately if you suspect your dog has ingested chocolate. They will help you determine the necessary course of action.

Yup, and the vomit is always on the most expensive carpet. They know what they are doing. 😉😂

Thank you for understanding! If I am late to one dog, I am late to the remainder! If you are looking to book with me, all appointments in these areas will be after 11/1/2025!

A win is a win! Two of my lovely pup clients are in the same condo building, so naturally they’re scheduled back-to-back!

It's so hard for me to choose, personally! My absolute favorite is any kind of shelter/rescue mix, they always have the happiest personalities and truly the best ears. However, I do love a boxy terrier, like a Westie, a sleek terrier like Rat Terriers or Toy Fox Terriers. I also love a long-nosed Silken Windhound, or Borzoi. When I retire, I have always planned to have Shih Tzus, because I think they are absolutely hysterical!

When I first met Penny, a Belgian Malinois mix, she was transitioning from foster to adoptee. She was timid, and unsure, but very sweet and gentle. Penny was born with a vision impairment, and the world was very scary for her. I saw an immediate need for confidence building and increased human-to-dog communication to help her bloom.

As Penny’s family and I worked together on her overall confidence, communication techniques, and leash manners, we saw her true personality flourish and watched her come out of her shell. Seeing her finally do zoomies and wag her tail outside of the home brought me to tears. I am so proud of Penny & she continues to enjoy life even with her suppressed vision--dogs have such an admirable way of overcoming obstacles!

Happy US Independence Day! My girl loved sporting patriotic gear and going for a stroll on July 4, with her friends!

This beauty is Birdy! When I first met her, she had moved across the country and was settling into her new home. She is one of the happiest girls on the planet, and clearly so intelligent. I was very excited to start with her! Throughout the course of 6 weeks, we worked on overstimulation on leash, general redirection from distracting stimuli, apartment building manners, and recall.

Birdy and her parents now have significant improvement on leash, calm behavior in common areas in their building, and Birdy's "Come!" cue has become very reliable!
She is a rockstar and I am honored to have been her trainer!
